Different jackets are made from different materials to offer great comfort, durability, safety, and style. Leather jackets are amazing, they can be the best-looking jackets that can protect you from chilly winds in winter. However, they cannot be worn in summer at all and therefore perforated leather jackets are ideal for summer. So, if you still feel too hot in summer to wear light jacket just remind yourself that it’s better to sweat than to bleed.

Pants
Similar to jackets, leather pants must be worn while riding a motorbike and it must contain armor support around knees and hips. Don’t wear loose pant and it should not be too tight either. Make sure the armor in the pant does not stay out of the actual place. The pants made from textile material are also good, just like nylon fabric that offers high abrasion resistance that is ideal for long tour. If you want to wear your denim while riding then you must wear leather chaps on them which protect you from wind, heat, as well as from rashes in case of falling down from the motorbike.
Boots
For your tour, your entire luggage is carried on the bike that obviously makes your bike too heavy considering bike’s own weight. And most importantly, you have to carry this all on your feet while travelling to unsmooth surfaces. Therefore, you need to invest in a good pair of shoes that gives firm support to your feet, has non-slippery base, and is oil-resistant. Moreover, your boots should be high enough to cover your ankle while providing armor support with strong heels. If your boot misses any of these features, then you are in danger.
Gloves
Your hands are extremely important for riding a bike, so it’s better to secure them, because a little damage can make you helpless for riding a bike in the middle of the tour. Choose those gloves that completely cover your hands, made from abrasion resistant material, provide firm support, and are well-stitched. Most important thing is armor inside your gloves that can instantly protect you if you land in a crash.
